It is stupid to criticize or blame amazon for wiping the floor with their competition. The rules of the game are set by lawmakers. Amazons job is to do the best they can in their business.

No it isn't, that attitude is terrible for society. There is no game, and "Amazon" doesn't have a job, the people who work there do. Running a business with the sole purpose of getting bigger and making more money is as immoral as it is common.

What makes it immoral? The idea that profit is immoral is a religious viewpoint, and one not shared by most people.

You make a lot of statements unbacked by explanations. Capitalism has produced the most peaceful and prosperous societies in the world. What exactly is better then?
